The income distributional effects of international trade, particularly intra industry trade has become important along with the expansion of international trade. In the framework of traditional trade theory especially factor proportions, the income distribution situation depends on the relative factor abundance. Also, according to the new trade theories, the income distributional effect of intra industry trade is not certain, and it depends on some factors such as market size and product differentiation. This paper has analyzed the distributional effects of intra industry trade. Specifically, the hypothesis is that intra industry trade reduces income inequality. To test this hypothesis, the panel data technique has been employed for selected developing countries including Iran during the time period of 2005-2012. Empirical results indicate a positive effect of intra industry trade on income distribution of selected countries. Based on the results, intra industry trade should be paid more attention in the foreign trade development.
